Subject: [PATCH] mm/demotion: Fix NULL vs IS_ERR checking in memory_tier_init

The alloc_memory_type() function return error pointers on error
instead of NULL.
Use IS_ERR() to check the return value to fix this.

Fixes: 7b88bda3761b ("mm/demotion/dax/kmem: set node's abstract distance to MEMTIER_DEFAULT_DAX_ADISTANCE")
